What Happens When Otter Couples Meet? Ui's First Appearance!

Incredible footage, thank you. I do enjoy seeing our babies in their natural habitat at these campgrounds. 

I was so scared for Kotaro there for a moment, when he was being carried away by the current! Our city otters were just learning about river swimming. But what a fantastic job he did of suddenly rearing up and employing his dolphin swim.technique! BTW, is anyone going to note that Hana was using it to swim in the shallows herself?  She's really coming along. 

Poor Ui! She clearly felt threatened on her turf. Her snipping at Kotaro should help everyone understand why Hana is very wary of Ui in many later clips. Hana gets upset protecting Kotaro. It's good to see that more time spent together is helping all the otters to get used to this new grouping. 

Captain Aty is a cutie and the king of river swimming. I.think he still shot a couple of looks at Princess Hana. That probably didn't help matters with Ui! 🙂

 This is like letting your kids have an extreme play date. I know you guys were so tired when the day was over. So cute 😂
